This whole exchange is worth reading — it continues on for a number of comments beyond this, with sillymod’s rationalizations becoming increasingly baroque. It’s extremely rare to see critical remarks like those from TheIdesOfLight actually get upvoted in the Men’s Rights subreddit. The Occidental College fiasco has divided the Men’s Rights subreddit like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Some are appalled by it; others are digging in their heels.

Thanks to the AgainstMensRights subreddit — which, again, is not actually against rights for men, but against the reactionary clusterfuck that is the Men’s Rights movement — for keeping close track on all this.

MRAs really should shut up about women’s reproductive rights, unless they’re planning on getting pregnant themselves (which, let’s face it, will be never). It’s not like anyone is denying them a choice. They have three reproductive options: Condoms, vasectomy, or abstinence. The way they ignore the first two (unless we’re talking spermjacking, in which case they go ballistic over how every woman supposedly wants their pure gold precious bodily fluids) is very telling. As is the way they constantly whine over how the third is supposedly being “forced” on them. They seem literally unable to believe anyone would not want them, even though they haven’t a desirable bone(r) in the bodies. But I think they do secretly know that they’re no prizes, which is why they’re so adamant about preserving the “right” to rape. They want to make it so that women can’t choose anything but simply MUST put up with their shit.

Have never learned to use Macs (insert pun about hubby here), have no interest in it. I hear they can be great computers… but when they break, they are HELL to fix. Both of my windows computers have lasted for eight and fifteen years, respectively, and still do what I need them to.

That said, my eight-year-old is starting to die. Microerrors are starting to pile up, and my more tech-savvy system-mate tells me that it’s time is coming, and these days, I can’t afford to be off the Internet for long without losing money. I plan to say fuck Windows AND Mac and install Linux on the next one. It’ll be an ass and a half to learn, but at least I can rest assured that it will do everything I need it to, and the kid’ll be DELIGHTED.

We Hunted the Mammoth tracks and mocks the white male rage underlying the rise of Trump and Trumpism. This blog is NOT a safe space; given the subject matter -- misogyny and hate -- there's really no way it could be.
